TECHNIQUEDrum Sequencing With PushLet’s compose a beat using Push. Begin in a new project: set the global tempo to 122bpm and global swing to 20% using the top-right two encoders, then hit Browse and navigate to the Drum Racks folder to load a TR-808 kit (hit the Browse button again to exit the browser). In Drum Rack mode, the yellow 4x4 grid mirrors a Drum Rack’s 16-pad layout; tapping a pad will play the corresponding drum hit, and also select that sound for step-sequencing.Let’s record some live pad-playing. Punch the Record button then tap a yellow pad (in our case, the rimshot) to overdub notes in the clip; hit Record again to turn off recording. Our timing is off, so we tap and hold the rimshot pad while punching Quantize to lock the…2 min

TECHNIQUEThe Golden Age Of WirelessINCLUDES VIDEO VAULT.FUTUREMUSIC.CO.UKThis month we mostly bought a Music Thing Radio Music DIY kit (musicthing.co.uk) from Thonk.co.ukand assembled it over one long evening. The completed module is a sample playback unit but with the working methodology of a radio. An inserted MicroSD card can host hours of your sound files, which you can ‘tune’ between and retrigger, both manually and via CV. It’s a one-stop ‘tape music’ generating module, and makes a fantastic source for the Mutable Instruments Clouds, or really any module with an audio input…Radio Music’s files are arranged in banks. Select a bank of spoken word files and feed a sample-and-hold generator, clocked to change every second or so, into the ‘station’ control. Keep listening/recording as unrepeatable word collage happens in real time, at random.Try Tom Whitwell’s…1 min

TECHNIQUEVocoders In PracticeINCLUDES VIDEO VAULT.FUTUREMUSIC.CO.UKThere are several tricks for a clearer vocodered vocal. Firstly, a modulator signal with wildly-varying dynamics will result in an inconsistent vocoder effect, so compress your vocal before it hits the vocoder’s modulator input. Next, ensure both the modulator and carrier signals have sufficient high-frequency content: if needed, boost or excite the vocal (pre-vocoder) in the 5-10kHz region using either a high-shelf EQ boost or multiband distortion. Vocoders can struggle to reproduce high-frequency, inharmonic fricative speech noises (eg S/T sounds): isolate these sounds by high-passing a copy of the unprocessed vocal, then mix this signal in parallel with the vocoder’s output. Finally, try processing the modulator signal pre-vocoder: bitcrushing, distortion or modulation effects can all result in interesting timbral changes.With a spoken vocal and full-frequency synth chords on…1 min
